lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the European Union's permanent preoccupation, at the level of communications alone of course, with people with disabilities, forms part of the effort to conceal the tragic reality, which is that there is 90% unemployment in the European Union – and not 70% as the leaders assert, with a dramatic increase in unemployed people with disabilities, in conjunction with a dramatic reduction in disabled children attending special schools or parallel departments in recent years. In Greece, only 7% of disabled children attend special schools, which are financed by the insured, not the state. For autistic children over 14 years old, there is not one rehabilitation centre, while few children with mental health problems attend some sort of school. Of the 2 000 rehabilitation centres which should exist in Greece, there are only 200 sub-standard centres in Athens. The problem of people with disabilities is deeply class-based. Equal opportunities for people with disabilities mean a free national health and welfare service, special education, assistance and dignified work for everyone. It means a different policy, which the European Union, by its very nature, is unable to practice. That is why it takes refuge in ‘lying on a massive scale’, as we say in Greece."@en1
